So does Dr. Paul Cameron, who did a study about homosexual
behaviour looks hopelessly stupid?
His study points to seven evidence to show that homosexual
behavious is [b]learned, meaning its the environment and
experimantation that causes someone to be hetro or homo - not
biological

I don't know if Dr Paul Cameron is hopelessly stupid, but he is
bigoted.
The Family Research Institute is another right wing organisation
that is trying to push the anti-gay agenda. His 'research' flies in
the face of much more research that shows evidence that homosexual
tendencies are biological.
He has also been found to be intellectually dishonest.
"In 1985, the American Sociological Association (ASA) adopted a
resolution which asserted that "Dr. Paul Cameron has consistently
misinterpreted and misrepresented sociological research on
sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism" and noted that "Dr. Paul
Cameron has repeatedly campaigned for the abrogation of the civil
rights of lesbians and gay men, substantiating his call on the
basis of his distorted interpretation of this research."7 The
resolution formally charged an ASA committee with the task of
"critically evaluating and publicly responding to the work of Dr.
Paul Cameron.""
And,
"Cameron's credibility was also questioned outside of academia. In
his written opinion in Baker v. Wade (1985), Judge Buchmeyer of the
U.S. District Court of Dallas referred to "Cameron's sworn
statement that 'homosexuals abuse children at a proportionately
greater incident than do heterosexuals,'" and concluded that "Dr.
Paul Cameron...has himself made misrepresentations to this Court"
and that "There has been no fraud or misrepresentations except by
Dr. Cameron""
Finally,
""That's only the beginning. In a 1981 debate, Cameron claimed a
4-year-old boy had been sexually mutilated in a Lincoln, Neb., mall
rest room as part of a "homosexual act" but police in Lincoln
said no such crime had occurred.
"He told the 1985 Conservative Political Action Committee
conference that "extermination of homosexuals" might be needed in
the next three to four years. He has advocated tattooing AIDS
patients in the face, and banishment to a former leper colony for
any patient who resisted. He has called for gay bars to be closed
and gays to be registered with the government."
[Note that he claims that the 'extermination' quote was lifted out
of context - standard fare. Said that it was only a
'suggestion']"
Wow... he's not just a bigot. He's a dangerous, extremist
bigot.
